Running:
Why is it important to do a thorough warm-up before running and stretch post running: 🏃♀️
Warming up increases your muscle temperature so that your muscles and tendons are less stiff and are ready to work hard with less risk of injury. It prepares your energy systems by increasing your heart rate, breathing rate, blood flow to your working muscles, which gives you more energy to run and awakens your body for the journey ahead.
After running your muscles are more tight.
Every muscle is connected, and muscles are connected to joints. Therefore Stretching post-workout prevents muscle soreness and joint injury and gives you more flexibility in general and for your next run. .
